Bray Wyatt is unique in today's WWE. Just take a look at his compadres on SmackDown Live's male Survivor Series team: AJ Styles, Dean Ambrose, Randy Orton, and Baron Corbin. Four dudes who wrestle, don't like people, or are a bit crazy. If you had to explain the character of any of those four to a non-wrestling fan, there wouldn't be a whole lot of explaining to do.

Bray Wyatt is a character. He is a zealous cult leader, a powerful deity-like being that brainwashes folk into following his orders. Sure, the cult leader thing isn't new or original, but Bray puts a modern twist on it. He is a sociopath that craves power and seems to know something we don't know.

As such, maybe people shouldn't be overly surprised with his booking. Cult leaders don't actually win, do they? Bray's seemingly constant habit of falling just short is accurate when it comes to portraying the cult leaders of the modern world. The fact that Bray has a formed character stands him in good stead going forward in WWE.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
